Value.
Made in Germany.

For 20 years, we have built a reputation for investing in innovation and technology leaders – especially among entrepreneurs who seek to place the future of their companies into responsible hands.

BCM AG convinces through a long-term investment approach without predetermined exits as well as a high degree of flexibility. Furthermore, we offer an unrivalled degree of commitment, since our team holds a significant stake in BCM AG.

Time and again, entrepreneurs have been telling us that we speak their language like no one else and that a partnership with us is one between equals.

We are a technology holding that will support you at all times and without fail with its entire network, both as a shareholder and sparring partner. Visionary thinking, speed and creativity are the traits that set us apart.

The success of a company is determined and supported by the personal drive of its managers. This is one of our creeds, and it has been borne out time and again in the many years since we have been in business. For this reason, we make sure that management teams are highly motivated and have a proven track record of success.

Does that appeal to you? Are you keen on taking companies to the next level? Or are you, as a manager, looking for a partner for a joint company takeover? Then you should talk to us. Because, as a manager of an innovation leader, you can achieve a great deal in a short space of time by working with us, and you will benefit twofold – through remuneration possibilities beyond those of comparable positions and through direct participation in value added. Success lies in your hands.
